Explanation:

Social evils are prevalent in almost all the backward countries. Surprising enough that India, a country proud of her ancient culture is no exception to it. Conservatism and fundamentalism apart there are certain customs that smear the face of this ancient land that is trying to build a modern image in the world. Go to any part of the country you will find something going on you’ll be ashamed of. Even some good customs have taken a woeful course.

There Was a time girls having taste in dance and music offered themselves to the cult of devadasis in prestigious temples throughout the country. They were virgins and dedicated their lives to the deity in the temple. They were respected by the whole society.

Muslim invasions are responsible for the demolition of a large number of temples in the North and North West. With them the very institution of devadasis disappeared.But it still persists in a few districts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Ire rate between the age of 7 and 14 are offered to be bride of goddess Yellamma a Saundatti temple in Belgaum district.

According to a rough estimate abort 5000 are still offered on full moon day during the month of Magh every year. Gradually a vicious belief has come up that the devadasis are maids to please Parashuram who lives in all men. A devadasi dare not displease Parashuram. What an obnoxious design to exploit the girls sexually. Most of these poor girls join the red light area (prostitute market in Mumbai and its suburbs.

Bonded labor is another social stigma on our face. The poor in rural areas (both men and women) are lured by contractors’ men to have a job. They are given a few hundred rupees and sign a document making them bonded labor. They are taken to distant places to work in construction: re­work or kilns. The women and small boys and girls are sexually assaulted too.

Many of the boys are sold again and again. They hardly know where they belong to. Although Bandhua Mazdoor Mukti Sangh of Swami Agnivesh got a very large number of these slave laborers free many are still there the net.

The prey of the custom of devadasis and bonded laborers are general illiterate scheduled caste or scheduled tribe people from rural areas. But those girls who suffer because of the evil custom of dowry belong to all sections of the society both in rural and urban areas in almost all the state; the evil that started from the North has engulfed the whole of South too.

hope it will help you...
